Abstract
A consensus appears to exist in the nation that greater public control over coastal development is desirable. One result of this has been the development of a need for data and knowledge which will assist in designing coastal management systems. This article attempts to respond to this need in two ways. One is informational, to provide an empirical record of the initial experience of a regional coastal commission in California. The other is to consider the deliberate strategy of building an evaluative capacity into coastal management agencies. An experimental data system proposed as the basis of this evaluative capacity is studied to demonstrate its ability to measure the performance of a commission's organizational structures, decision‐making rules, and administrative procedures.Keywords
